If a dialog box appears on your screen labeled "Windows Media Player Error" with the text "Access is denied," you are having problems playing back Yahoo! Video content.

To resolve this problem, click again on the link to play audio or video content that you had previously selected (for example, from the lower section of the Yahoo! Video viewer window). This will restart playback of your selected piece of content.
